"I agree with you on point 3, but i still have a problem with the whole doom thingy, you know.

"Doom" is taking place in our thoughts and we all know thoughts create matter.

So prepp for love instead for "doom"

How about a 'war on doomthinking'

The only doom for now will be coming from our governments..".

I think 'doom' is just something that tv, government and naysayers describe preppers with. I think partially it is biblical and pycholigical.

I don't look at preppers as doomtards, or doommaniacs. I actually look at them as very wise and often a bit whacky and fun.

My grandparents were preppers in a way. They had an acre garden, grew their own food, canned everything for the winter, shot deer and froze the meat and gave extra's to all their kids. My grandmother canned, sewed her clothes, did her laundry by hand, made candles and soap. They fished in the river all the time, sold worms for fisherman for extra money and had animals from time to time on the farm. They could have lived off the grid forever until someone tried to take it from them, and they had guns though......
They weren't doom thinkers, they believed in sweat equity. They believe in sharing, giving, loving and having food always on their shelves. They had a potato and apple bin that held at least 300 lbs of each. There was always church and a large sunday dinner of deer meat and garden goods where the whole family sat down and ate together.
My grandparents where lovely, caring purposeful people who had a plan. It wasn't about surviving doom. It was about giving, loving, doing and not expecting anyone else to give them anything.
People who survived the depression are like that.
